Dan: It is a Tom Cruise moment. That was mine (the joke). It’s a totally anachronistic and wrong for the period but, I really didn’t care. It made me laugh in rehearsal. And Katie Holmes had since seen the show and actually commented and particularly liked that joke.
Although, I got really paranoid that night because she was in the audience and I did it and the audience reaction wasn’t nearly as much as it was used to be and I’m like, “Oh man, they all know that she’s here.” and they’re like, “Oh wow, this is really awkward.” No, but it was really good.
